PEGGY: THE TRAGIC TURN OF EVENTS
HAPPENING RIGHT BACK HERE AT
THIS HOUSE.
FRIENDS SAY 64-YEAR-OLD NICKI
ALEXOPOULOS WAS AFRAID SOMETHING
BAD MIGHT HAPPEN.
SHE JUST GOT A SECURITY SYSTEM
AND REFERRED TO HER SON AS
DANGEROUS.
>> HER -- I HEARD SIX DISTINCT
GUNSHOTS.
PEGGY: THERE WERE MANY NEIGHBORS
OUT HERE IN THE 5700 BLOCK OF
CENTRAL LAST NIGHT.
THEY RAN TO HELP THE WOMAN DOWN
IN THE FRONT YARD THEN HEARD
ANOTHER SHOT COMING FROM INSIDE
THE HOUSE.
>> I HEARD A MALE YELLING, AND
WE THOUGHT THAT SOMEBODY WALKED
INTO SOMEONE'S GARAGE, BUT IT
WAS NOT THAT.
PEGGY: POLICE NOW SAY NICKI
ALEXOPOULOS WAS CONFIDING IN HER
FRIEND ABOUT HER SON STEALING
FROM HER WHEN HE BURST IN AND
SHOT AND KILLED HER.
THE FRIEND RAN FROM THE HOUSE,
BUT HE FOLLOWED, SHOOTING HER IN
THE FRONT YARD.
THEN, INVESTIGATORS SAY, THE SON
WENT BACK INSIDE AND KILLED
HIMSELF.
>> WE DO KNOW THAT HE HAD FOUND
OUT HIS MOTHER REALIZED HE WAS
EMBEZZLING MONEY FROM HER.
PEGGY: WE'VE LEARNED NICKI FILED
A KANSAS CITY POLICE FORGERY
REPORT ON OCTOBER 13 REGARDING
HER SON.
AND JUST YESTERDAY, SHE BROUGHT
IN BANK EVIDENCE AGAINST HIM.
HE REPORTEDLY STOLE MORE THAN
$20,000.
NEIGHBORS SAY THEY'D BEEN WARNED
TO WATCH OUT FOR THE SON AND
NICKI WAS JUST INSTALLING A
SECURITY SYSTEM.
BUT LAST NIGHT HE ALLEGEDLY
PARKED A BLOCK AWAY BEFORE
MAKING HIS WAY TO HIS MOTHER'S
HOUSE.
THE INJURED FRIEND REMAINS IN
CRITICAL CONDITION TONIGHT.
